  Do you really need a phone on a plan? My understanding is that it's just RRP spread over 12/24 months these days on top of your plan.

  It seems to only be $219 outright from Amazon

    My work offers $40 per month. So trying to use that.

      Can you just get the plan itself, buy the phone outright and claim said phone as a tax deduction? (I'm not an accountant so double check this information)

        if the plan and phone is $40, work will pay for it.
        If OP purchases it as a deduction it will be pre tax dollars. OP will still be out of pocket.

  Look at woolworths mobile, few options at or just above your price range. (over a 3 yr period)

    i personally had an awful experience with woolworths mobile. i had issues with network not found and in-coming/outgoing calls not coming through they said it could be a phone issue so i paid the $777 early upgrade to replace the phone and kept having major issues. i recently paid another $670 to leave woolworths and have had a much much better experience with Belong. i also found it very very difficult to get service or help from woolworths

      Been with them for a while. No network drama.

      I had similar issues when I was with a different Optus MVNO provider. Faulty Sim Reader.
